Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are
Some of the best advice I’ve ever gotten was from a brilliant but flippant high school English teacher. I’m sure that this particular teacher has no idea that her discussion of her kids’ careers would affect anyone, but she described her son’s road to success has having been paved by ‘fake it till you make it’. She talked about how he dressed the part and talked the talk and walked the walk until he actually made it happen. Your body language and self- confidence can go a long way to get you what you want – and Amy Cuddy explains this in her talk.
Amy Cuddy is a social psychologist best known for her research on stereotyping and discrimination, emotions, power, and nonverbal behavior. She is on the faculty at Harvard Business School, and is all-around really interesting, so take a look at her research if you haven’t heard of her already.
